Ive posted a blog on the COMING OF THE NEW PROTON a few days a go. Now Im gonna comment on the car. My 1st impression is…DAMN, its a really good looking car. the lines are gorgeous. I especially like the ‘tiger eyes’ headlamps and the lines on the front hood. it looks like a ‘go fast’ hatchback, but i dont think it’ll go that fast with 1.3 & 1.6 liter Campros. 
One thing i dont like with the xterior is the ‘bling-bling’ turbine wheels. it looks horrible. moving on to the inside or the car…
1st the engine bay. it looks really tidy, even without the covers. some how, the Campro engine looks really sexy. the same goes for the interior.minimilistic designs all around.vertical aircon controls, round air con vents and a new Blaupunkt CD player. the front seats are ‘buckets’ and are really comfortable (compared to other Protons)…so far so good? …..it all ends there.
The quality of the interior is horrible! the plastics are hard and feel cheap. its almost like my iswara (to SABB…my mum’s).crappy plastics. feels like u can tear it off.
Overall, i think its an OK car. there’s certainly improvements from previous models. for those of u looking for a ‘youthful’ car with a budget of around RM 55k this is the car. but if ur not in a hurry, better wait for the R3 (race, rally, research) version. There’s rumours that it’ll have a turbocharger.
